  • Mapping the Pursuit of Gender Equality Non-Government and International Agency Activity in Timor-Leste
    Gender is an important and frequently cited area of discourse and activity in contemporary Timor-Leste. Many organizations work in a range of ways to challenge the disparities that women experience in terms of access to rights, wellbeing, services and power. Gender is also regularly connected with major themes of MAPPING THE PURSUIT nation-building and associated development processes, and many attempts are made to ensure that women actively participate in and benefit from nation- building processes. Some activists and advocates have drawn attention to the of Gender Equality:MappingTimor-Leste the Pursuit Non-Government and International Agency Activity in history of women’s activism and organizing in Timor-Leste under the conditions of colonialism and war, and have endeavoured to articulate a unique role for women OF GENDER EQUALITY in shaping the national history of Timor-Leste. In doing so, there is an attempt to recognize women’s contributions to guerrilla and clandestine fronts, at least in part so as to create opportunities for women to influence contemporary nation- building processes. Hence, the history of East Timor is re-framed to advance the status of women within the new nation.

  • Timor-Leste After the UN
    CHAPTER 10 After Xanana: Challenges for Stability1 Cillian Nolan Introduction In November 2013, Timor-Leste’s Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão announced he would resign before the regular end of the current parliamentary term in 2017. The timing of that resignation remains unclear, but it now looks likely that at the very least he will not run for office again in 2017. When it does happen, it will have important ramifications for political stability. It will mark the beginning of a long-deferred transition of political power from the closed circle of leaders engaged in politics since before the country’s 1975 invasion by Indonesian forces. It will also be a key step towards the full demobilisation, in the broadest sense, of the guerrilla independence army that Gusmão effectively commanded from 1981 until 2000. Since being elected prime minister in August 2007, Gusmão’s leadership has been marked by a pragmatic approach to shoring up stability at the expense of deeper institutional development. His election and subsequent decision to merge the defence and security ministries under his own control were instrumental in restoring confidence among many Timorese in the government and its security forces. But by restoring the old military commander as head of government, these steps did little to help develop new leaders or institutions. This is also why Gusmão’s resignation will create new pressures from among veterans who 1 This paper was written for the 2013 Timor-Leste Update conference held at The Australian National University. It has not been updated to reflect the 2015 resignation of Xanana Gusmão.
